Supported Pt catalysts with different Fe/Pt atomic ratios were synthesized using controlled surface reactions to deposit (cyclohexadiene) iron tricarbonyl onto Pt/SiO2 to create Pt-FexOy interfacial sites. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements show that Pt and Fe species exist as metallic Pt and Fe oxides phases, respectively, after treatment in H-2 at 573 K, whereas Fe becomes more oxidized under reaction conditions for CO oxidation at 313 K (CO:O-2 = 1:1). The addition of Fe increases the turnover frequency of Pt1Fex/SiO2 at 313 K and atmospheric pressure by up to two orders of magnitude compared to Pt/SiO2. The reaction order with respect to the O-2 partial pressure suggests that O-2 adsorption on the surface is likely to be a rate controlling step for both Pt/SiO2 and Pt1Fe0.2/SiO2. The enhanced activity over Pt1Fex/SiO2 catalysts compared to Pt/SiO2 can be associated with a lower energy barrier for O-2 adsorption and activation over Pt-FexOy interfacial sites.
